Procedure
edit
- Preheat a conventional (i.e. not convection) oven to 350 °F (180 °C).
- Place the apple slices in a buttered baking pan. Sprinkle them with lemon juice for flavor and to prevent them from turning brown. Mix in the water and cinnamon to taste.
- To make the topping, combine the butter, brown sugar, oats, flour, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Crumble the ingredients in a bowl with your fingers to create a uniform mixture.
- Cover the apples with the topping. If desired, sprinkle some rolled oats sparingly on the surface for added texture.
- Bake for 30–45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the apples are soft and the topping is crisped.
- Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes, tips, and variations

- Peeling the apples before slicing is traditional but not required.
